230S RTF Basic (BLH12001)

The Blade 230 S Smart Ready-to-Fly Basic helicopter is the ideal platform for pilots eager to learn collective pitch flight. Featuring the powerful Spektrum DXS transmitter and packed with Spektrum Smart technology, the 230 S Smart provides real-time flight pack voltage monitoring and simplified telemetry data to improve your flight experience. This heli's SAFE (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) technology enables progressive flight modes that support beginner to advanced maneuvers, ensuring pilots of all skill levels can enjoy a seamless introduction to collective pitch helicopters.

Built to handle the demands of collective pitch training, the 230 S Smart is designed with a durable, reinforced frame, ABS main blades, and metal gear servos, which provide exceptional resilience in light crashes or blade strikes. The helicopter’s bright orange main and tail rotor blades, along with a vibrant canopy, ensure easy orientation visibility, even on sunny days. Plus, if repairs are needed, replacement parts are readily available, making maintenance hassle-free.

The Blade 230 S Smart utilizes the advanced Spektrum Avian Smart ESC, which transmits essential Smart Battery and ESC data, including voltage, temperature, and RPM, directly to compatible Spektrum transmitters. With a 32-bit M4 processor, the Avian ESC delivers high-resolution input and smooth motor response, providing pilots with an optimized and active throttle experience for locked-in control.

SAFE technology offers three flight modes that allow pilots to progressively advance their skills. Stability Mode provides self-leveling and bank angle limits, perfect for beginners. Intermediate Mode removes the bank angle limit but maintains controlled head speed, offering a comfortable transition from Stability Mode. For advanced pilots, Agility Mode unlocks the heli’s full aerobatic capabilities, allowing for 3D maneuvers such as flips and tic tocs.

The Blade 230 S Smart is equipped with the cutting-edge Spektrum AR6250MHX flybarless controller, featuring adaptive flight control algorithms, 6-axis M.E.M.S. sensors, and a high-speed aluminum-cased system that reduces vibration, ensuring responsive, precise control across all flight modes. With its blend of durability, advanced technology, and ease of use, the 230 S Smart is the perfect choice for pilots looking to master the art of collective pitch helicopter flight.
